Chipper is great & HOF bound but the Braves should try to get a third baseman now! Hint: David Wright!

His .304 career average is the result of 8597 career AB’s and 2615 hits.

If he went 85 for 403, a batting average of .211, he’d end with big easy round numbers of 2700 for 9000. That’s exactly a .300 average.

I hoped he would retire a .300 hitter, but it appears he’ll join Mantle during his final season. Something to root for though, I’ll have to catch a game to see him play one last time.
